Jaguarundi was a real disappointment on our trip. We had booked a superior cabin at an expensive rate. The cabin was basic and unclean with dirt on the walls and in the bathroom. The mattresses were poor quality and were dirty, as was the bed linen. There were also dangerous concrete paths to get to the cabins which were steep and slippy. The one & only redeeming factor about this place is its location next to Santa Elena. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.

We checked in on the last afternoon. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by howler monkeys in the parking lot! Just hanging out above the cars, in the trees. It was a very cool sight. The reception clerk was very friendly and informative about the property and things to do in the area. Including walking the hotels wilderness trail that's right on the property. We took advantage of this right before sunset. It's beautiful. Only about 1 mile of trail, but full of trees, rustic paths and were told, animals. We didn't see any at this time. We dinner at the Ficus Hotel which is connected to the grounds here. It was a beautiful setting. My husband enjoyed his sandwich. My steak was not cooked well and very tough to eat, so i did not. I asked for it to be cooked more and it was returned to me the same. Quite raw. But we would try the place again, just not having the steak. You need a reservation, so ask the reception clerk to set this up for you. The cabin is quite peaceful. It feels as is you're staying in a jungle! The wildlife sounds all around you. When it trains, it's a lovely, calming sound. We slept well here. It is near to all of the nightlife and shopping in the area. Walk to everything. We recommend this place.

This is a very wonderful property. On our first morning there, we woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys! I saw a few on the property. We saw lots of wildlife, which is what we had been hoping for. The trails are beautiful. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. There is an easy walk to town for restuarants and shopping. This property was absolutely amazing!

In town jungle lodge
We loved the lodge but there was no initial information about the lack of a restaurant on the property. They referred us to the lodge on the adjoining property and it was okay, but quite a ways up the hill (walking, dark at night). Although the lodge is "in town", it was quiet and easy to get to. Looking out from our porch, it did feel and look like we were in the jungle.

The property itself was beautiful and the service was awesome. The rooms themselves are quite humid so all of the bedding was damp. Also we shared a building with another room and the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing at all hours of the day. Also, if one room runs hot water, it limits the hot water in the other room (cold night time showers). The restaurant is also not on the grounds, it is at the hotel at the top of the property which for the hike, the food was ok. The grounds themselves are pretty and have their own hiking trail but overall experience this was not fully as advertised.

We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!
